Whether you want to build community, generate ideas with brain storming session, address unresolved grief, heal from trauma. Circle is a powerful space that can build connections, acknowledge untold truths and unsurface the unbounded wisdom and creativity of the collective.
Do you find yourself stuck in a difficult relationship? Having a hard time with a spouse, a sibling, a business partner, a boss, an employee? Michelle can help shift the conflict so that you can have those difficult conversations, get unstuck and free yourself to new possibilities.
Circle training is an opportunity for anyone interested in community building or restorative justice to increase skills and knowledge for having difficult conversations. Circle is a dialogue process useful for increasing understanding among different perspectives and for creating effective solutions to long-standing issues of conflict or disconnection. The circle strives to create an environment safe for every participant to express their point of view and nurtures the possibility of finding win-win solutions for the benefit of all. Circles have been used in schools, families, workplaces, neighborhoods, faith communities, social services and the justice system.
Has your organization started to look at concepts of diversity, equity and inclusion as well as holistic approaches to workplace relations? Many groups have changed their language and edited employee handbooks to reflect more inclusive vocabulary, however these changes remain largely on the surface. Work with me to leverage circle process for brainstorming, consensus building, and decision making and we will shift your organizational culture from traditional hierarchy where only few voices are heard, to an organization that values its employees for the gifts they bring, operating from a place of abundance.
